Each week-long session will be full of adventures on the farm! With hands-on activities in farming, art, and cooking, as well as hikes around our 150-acre organic farm, there's always something fun to do. Campers (ages 5-12) can expect to get their hands dirty while exploring pieces of Live Earth’s organic vegetable row crop production and fruit orchards. Campers will spend time getting to know our herd of goats, cow, pig, horses, and visit with the chickens. Campers will assist in daily chores of our animals, ride the tractor, learn from our farmers, and can also expect plenty of games, songs, tree climbing, art projects, nature exploration, and more!

We are also excited to host Leaders in Training (LITs) again this summer. LITs are local teens (ages 13+) who have the opportunity to work closely with our educators and farmers, while gaining valuable job skills. LITs help lead the summer camp groups and are encouraged to practice skills such as: conflict resolution, project management, lesson planning, teaching, mentorship, and more! LITs are also offered support in professional development such as resume building and interview prep.

We have scholarship funds available for campers & LITs to take advantage of! Submit an application on our website!
